City loan for Spurs youngster Kane

Leicester City have secured the services of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, on loan until the end if the season.

The 19-year-old, whose season loan deal was cancelled by loaning club Norwich City last month, has previously seen success in the Championship. He scored nine goals during a stay in Millwall last year.

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson is delighted to have secured the services of the England youngster.

"He's a player we know quite a lot about and I am delighted," he told the BBC, "He can play as wide striker or as a central striker. He is a decent size as well and gives us another option in forward positions.

"If you are going to bring players in on loan they have to have a hunger for success and I am confident we have another player coming into our ranks who will bring a lot of positive qualities to the squad.

"Hopefully he will bring goals and a fresh impetus. It keeps the competition really keen."
